Summary
Massive metal tone dialed to the exact specs of Dimebag Darrell. Beef, crunch, edge, balls.
Description
Crunchy pick attack,
scooped mids, and just the right amount of saturation are what this
pickup is all about. Dime wanted his signature humbucker to have a thick
crunch that sags just a little when you really lay into it. Combine
that with a full, tight, low end response, a ceramic magnet, with dual
stainless steel blades, and you have the Dimebucker. Huge and straight
from the brain of the late great Darrell Abbot. In a 2004 interview
Dimebag described the tone of the Dimebucker, “Its very saturated not to
the point where its overly fuzzy but it has a smooth and crunchy
distortion tone. It will give you some extra gain, but it wont go so far
that your sound breaks up and is going crazy. You get that warm tone
with the distortion mixed in and it has the low end thats kicking you in
the butt while the top end is cutting your face off in the right way,
but not ripping your face off. If you ever listen to a Pantera record,
that’s what you’ll hear through this pickup”. Combine with a 59 Model
(bridge) in the neck position for the setup that Darrell himself used,
or get our Dimebag Set for neck and bridge. Hand built in Santa Barbara,
CA, the Dimebucker uses a ceramic bar magnet, dual stainless steel
blades, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and is vacuum
wax potted for squeal-free performance.
